I for fucking sure would do that in a country full of crazy people waiting to blow you up.

This wouldn't make you my friend.
Is this type of behavior going to speed up rebellions against US troops? Does the lying danger of getting RPG'd allow this type of 'driving' ? Discuss!
I Agree I would be driving the same way, did you hear the Driver once get mad of tell the slow fuckheads to get out of the way, no. He's on a mission, not going to the mall for some shopping for souvenirs.
I would also agree that is pisses off a few drivers, but looking at the video they all know the game over there by now, and all of the drivers moved over pretty quickly once they noticed the headlights on a US HUMVEE was where that sound of the weak honking was coming from. And yes its standard procedure to drive with your lights on, in any government vehicle, during the day.

Ive watched the video and see nothing wrong in the behavior of the Hummer driver, better to nudge a few cars than get stuck in traffic and take an RPG hit, oh be opened fire on by insurgents with AK, RPK's Etc....., think the civilian would get a bit more upset getting caught in a cross fire, than a few bumps to their bumper.
Now this guy has some good common sense. What do the good citizens of Iraq want the most? Granted the US to leave, but right now they want
security. They know this guy giving them a nudge, that did no physical damage, is providing that.

i like how a few of the drivers pull over right away, seems to be the sensible people that do that they didn't hit them hard enough to do much if any damage, and it seemed they needed to get somewhere important (the guys in the hummer i mean) so sure , its not like they were running them off the road or anything
Yeah it seems like it's understood that if you see a Military vehicle coming down the road, I will quickly move out of the way, I'm sure a lot of these civilians have seen there fair share of IED's and explosions going on in their city's and their country. Knowing that HUMVEE is a target, I'm sure that they would rather pull over quickly , then get caught in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

i would kill them for doing it if i would be Iraq citizen.... Coz there is no reason to doing that just to insure your safety.. if you act nice so people would be more nicer and maybe it could stop some riots....
Do you think that a war was started over a guy bumping another guy with his car (HUMVEE)? NO, seriously if an Iraqi is a insurgent, he has already made up his mind if he want to start killing Allied soldiers and Marines. Bumping his car, I think is
very unlikely that would push someone over the edge. Not impossible I said,
very unlikely.
